Problems solved by technology

Even though search results can be displayed in a number of different ways, the returned search results is often large.
The large number of search result entries makes it difficult for the user to reasonably look through the results.
Even with sophisticated searching algorithms or ranking algorithms, it is often not possible to predict what each user is actually looking for and to reduce the number of search result entries accordingly.
However, the current use and value of displaying images along with textual information is limited, because the textual information presented with a given image is merely information that is already tied to the image.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Described in detail below is a system and method for providing search results organized by different concepts. The search result entries are collapsed and presented as multi-modal, multi-media content for each of the identified concepts for a specified search term. The multi-modal, multi-media content configured for each identified concept is obtained from one or more sources. The concepts can be common / majority and minority concepts in accordance with the search term. Determination of the concepts, selection of the display content, selection of the sources from which to obtain the content, and / or selection of the layouts or templates for displaying the content is performed dynamically in response to a user's search request. Pre-determined relationship or association between the concepts, display content, sources, or templates may not be required. In one embodiment, the concept based search results are configured to facilitate rapid disambiguation more than interactivity. In a...

Abstract

A system and method for providing paid content relating to search results in visually illustrative concept format is disclosed. Concepts relating to a query term are identified.

The content for a given conceptual search result entry can come from different sources.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a computer-implemented system for presentation of information. More particularly, the present invention relates to presentation of search results.[0002]Presently, the most common searches over the Internet are keyword searches. A user enters one or more terms into a search engine and the search engine returns search results. The search results comprise a list of items or locations (e.g., uniform resource locators (URLs) of web pages) that contain the search terms. The listing may also include a short excerpt from each items or location showing the presence of the search terms. FIGS. 1A-1B is an example of a portion of the search results provided in response to the search term “jaguar.” Search results entries 100 are provided as a list of URLs with corresponding short excerpts.[0003]Some search engines allow users to search for images. Referring to FIG. 2, an example of search results including images is shown. The sea...
